Sheep Shearing & Grass Fed Beef! Montana Ranch!!! Women in Ag 2022

Sheep Shearing & Grass-Fed Beef! Montana Ranch!!! Women in Ag 2022
In today's video, I have the privilege of learning how Lisa Schmidt moved from Oregon and started A Land of Grass Ranch in north-central Montana. Lisa is amazing. She runs this entire heritage ranch by herself and this is more than just a few acres. She had a dream and she believes in family farming and making a difference by selling direct to consumers. It is amazing how Lisa can maintain the highest quality Black Angus cattle, Targhee, and Hampshire sheep. Lisa has also written a book about how to ranch and adventures in raising your food. She believes that meat should come from naturally raised animals on native pasture and native grass because it is leaner and better tasting. Grass-fed beef is delicious! I encourage everyone to go to Lisa's website www.a-land-of-grass-ranch.com and learn about what it takes to be a rancher and how your beef and lamb get to your table. Please help support Lisa and buy one of the many products from her ranch from wool yarn, wool dryer balls, socks, and books, to grass-fed beef and lamb. A big thank you to Montana Farmers Union for making this interview possible!!! Thank you for watching!!!

My Story…
Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am a 17-year-old 4th-generation Montana farmer. My family has been farming wheat in north-central Montana since my great grandfather immigrated from Denmark in 1912 and homesteaded our land. My family has been teaching me about farming since I was two years old. I run one of the combines on the farm at harvest. I believe that it is important for everyone to know where their food comes from and the families who produce it. I love our farm, and I hope that my Farm to Fashion and Farm to Table products can help educate people about where their food comes from in a fun way. That is how Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion became a reality. I hope you love my products as much as I do because this is an extension of our farm and the grains we have been growing to feed other families for over one hundred years. beef cattle

What a fantastic episode Kate. God bless our farmers and ranchers without y’all we all would be in a bad way. I was an FFA member all four years in High School and part of what we did was shear sheep as well as a lot of other things. I appreciate your friend and the way she explained the processes.

This interview really hit home for me. My late uncle Ben had a blanket manufacturing and cleaning business. He specialized in wool blanket manufacturing and cleaning. I went to work for him when I was 12 and learned all the processes to make the wool blanket from the sheep wool to sewing on the ribbon. Then the cleaning process which was special in that there would be no shrinking or matting. When the synthetic blankets hit the market the business slowly died. The wool blanket was expensive to make and sheep herders were sparse. It was a sad ending but my Uncle never stopped trying to bring back the wool blanket. So this interview brought back some good memories of my past and could relate to a lot of what your interviewee was saying. That you for all that you do.

Great video!! I can not echo Ms Schmidt's sentiments enough. It is imperative that we (Americans) start/continue to support local farmers and buying American made. If someone does not know where to start, just Google it. There r so many positive benefits such as: supporting the local economy, building personal/business relationships, knowing what went into the food ur eating, more nutritious food products & higher quality of the non-food products, and the value for the dollar far exceeds that of what u purchase in the chain grocery or retail store. Keep up this style of videos!! U r a great ambassador for the farm community!

G,day Kate and Rancher Lisa from Sydney Australia. Thanks for a great visit to a running sheep and cattle station (ranch). The portable five (5) stand sheering trailer is unique with no wool classing table to asses and dock the fleece. Lisa made mention of fencing: with electric strand and solar systems for cattle (cows). Sheep on the other hand, need stronger and more strained wires- with races and small holding pens for inspection, tails and vaccinations. Nice story Kate, quiet the network: the Montana Farmers Union- plenty of "roosters in the hen house"? Praying for rain. 🌏🇦🇺

[@bruceringrose7539]

Congratulations Kate, this is one of your best videos! The equipment videos are fun and interesting, but this video really provides a good, thorough look at what sorts of challenges farmers face in trying to earn a living. Most folks think farmers are rich because they own a lot of land and food prices are high right now, they do not know how heavily mortgaged all that land and equipment is. Lisa hit the nail on the head; the middlemen in the process of bringing agricultural products to the consumer are making most of the profit! The farmer and the supermarket make almost nothing because they are at the ends of the process. Best wishes, and keep up the good work!

[@KatesAg]

Thank you for your fantastic comment and amazing kindness!!! I'm not sure farmers can make it if they have mortgages on their land. It really doesn't pencil out because of the low prices they get for crops/animals. If they have mortgages on equipment it is even worse. Direct to consumer truly is fantastic and the best way to go and it is hard for farmers to do that because like Lisa said if they have operating loans they have to pay them back in the fall. I think if farmers can negotiate those loans then they could break free from the cycle of selling to corporate middlemen. Our farm is unique because it's been in our family for over a century and we are super frugal because we know that there are going to be bad years. We don't care about fancy equipment and vehicles, we care about being as efficient as possible.

Congratulations Kate, this down to earth video is not only educational, well done, it is also very inspirational, it's so good to see more women at the end of the plow and at the helm. It wasn't many decades ago that women rose up for women's rights (1920 something). Prior to that, they were, like slaves and not on the front lines. I've worked on several projects, where the women outworked the men, the men complained like babies, the women, they just got the job done, no complaints. WTG Kate, go girl!!! Keep up the dream and hard work. And thank you for providing a 60 year old man knowledge he did not have prior on how my food is grown, I appreciate my food so much more, recently bought wheat berries, made my own whole wheat flour and bread, I love it, and everyone I shared it with loves it, my doctor especially loves it! Who ever said that, you can't teach an old dog, new tricks?! They were wrong, and anyone that says a young person cannot disseminate knowledge, and educate, those persons, are also wrong. One thing I have learned in six decades is, enthusiasm, is, everything! Keep your enthusiasm and spirit strong, you will encounter storms, stick to your dreams and work hard, you'll overcome the storm! As you most likely already know, living in the vast plains!

Lady Kate. This video of “Sheep Shearing & Grass Fed Beef! Montana Ranch!!! Women in Ag 2022” (for me) has sent you over the top when it comes to you doing a multiple of skills!! You bring the many other aspects of farming in many other fields, and I say, Bravo! Bravo! I thought that when I chose to watch your channel, that I would probably occasionally check it out, but had me wondering back (subscribed) to what great surprises I am going to see next. As to women owning, managing, and working the farm, and this has been swept under the rug throughout history. Single women and married women (husbands who died of natural causes, war or went off to Sea and never returned) as far back as history can go have had to do this. Although don’t let it distract you from your own farm! Stay Safe and Keep Up The Great Work!

Hello Kate. Nice reportage. The problems of farmers all over the world are the same. Sell what you have produced for a good price. Well done Kate.

Hi Kate, I think the dog liked you. 😅 Sheepfarmer Sandi Brock (CAN) has a few of these sheep, she calls them Prince Edward or Ed, named after singer Ed Sheeran. 😀

Very interesting Kate learning about how other farmers operate ,we have mostly Swaledale sheep were i live in Yorkshire ,England they roam about on the moors all year round very hardy sheep because they are exposed to very adverse weather conditions and they are also the symbol of the Yorkshire Dales.

Thank you for your wonderful kindness and great story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kate enjoy these videos of you at a Sheep & Beef Ranch a lot of good information in all your videos and I love that Dog he is really watching the sheep

[@KatesAg]

Thank you for your wonderful kindness!!!!

[@alderdeer]

Well done Kate very interesting story, might be an idea to follow on with some processor videos of where commodities like Lisa's wool or even your own crops go after they leave the farm and what products are being produced in the locality with them. As always very enjoyable video thanks.

[@KatesAg]

Thank you for your terrific suggestion and wonderful kindness!!!!!!

Well you better get a grip!! Because they are saying this year will be a bad droit, due to that we did not get the proper snow and rain fall. At the present time, the water table is very low from the previous year and have not yet recovered. This year will be tough go for both the farmers and ranchers, pray for rain. People tend to forget that when the farmers are taking a hit, the ranchers are taking a similar hit that is just as bad. Great Job Kate to broaden your horizons including Ranching.

Thank you for your fantastic comment and wonderful kindness!!! I agree we are in for another big drought. My mom thinks we are back into the dust bowl days drought which lasted for a decade. I sure hope not!

[@yesterdayswantedman3207]

I worked in the shearing industry when I was younger , because we didn't have any trees on our orchard there was not a lot to do so I got a job as a "Presser "it was my job to make those wool bales , the correct term is a wool press , not " packer "and her " bag " she uses for the wool is called a fadge , we didn't have hydraulic wool presses back then , it was all tramped by your legs and then pressed by hand . seeing livestock in your video's is good.
